Elijah Busby SC>AL>Marshall County, MS

I am looking for any connection to my ELIJAH BUSBY born 1815-1820 in SC. Some of his children in later census' listed him as being from Alabama so I feel that he must have been there in his earlier years. He married Susan Ellis in MARSHALL COUNTY, MS in 1859 and had the following children in Marshall County:

Most, if not all, later moved to Memphis, TN. The only known connection that I have made is to LAWRENCE P. BUSBY who was a cousin and he was listed as being born in Louisiana, his parents (unknown) born in Alabama. He had sons named:

Lawrence P. BusbyAllison Busby and Richard C. Busby. They were all listed in the census in Memphis.

I think, but can not prove, that my Elijah was the son of Elijah Busby who died in Madison County, AL in 1843. There are some name similarities from that family.

Does anyone have any info on these Busby's or any other Busby's from MARSHALL COUNTY, MS? I have been stuck for so long! Thanks for any help.

My grandfather was a Busby and his family was from Coldwater, MS (Tate County). I have very limited information but would be interested on any links between the families as I have just started look at family history.
